i have an s14 with mgan coils, i had rally bad camber before, so i purchaseda set of Cxracing rear camber arms, after installing them my car feels like garbage...

it almost feels dangerous to drive, the only way i can explain is it is that the car feels like it has recoil, i havent gotten my alignment yet and i understand that MAY be the problem, wut else could it be?

Probably a cheap POS rod end that's all siezed up. Get some decent ones from GSXRJordan(I think I missed some letters in his name). He has a thread in the Group Buy forum I believe.

Yes they are, if they're not crappy. You have crappy rod ends now, they do not move freely.

And yes, I assumed you aligned your car after changing your camber, but I suppose what was assuming too much...

But seriously, you changed arms on the car, ofcourse shit will be out of whack.

everytime you remove a suspension piece or adjust anything with suspension you threw the alignment off.

its best to do all suspension pieces at once and tow the car to a alignment shop its the safest way.

You really can't just buy the RUCA's after slamming an s14. If you pull the camber out, your undoubtedly affect toe/ alignment. Not to mention it is a good idea to get traction rods too; you can't lengthen just one point and expect it not to fu*k everything else up.

It's likely that you have added a decent amount a toe, that will most definitely make the rear end of an S14 feel awkward/dangerous. I know some people add toe to drive the rear end outwards more in a drift but I honestly feel its not necessary for the s14 chassis. I've felt it with a little, a lot, and pretty much none and would say I prefer none.
